    Why isn't everyone as upset about the Supercharger increase as I am?

    In some instances it is a 445% increase. Old price $0.46 for 250 kW, new price $2.05 for 250 kW. 445% increase, so on the low end 70% but otherwise, higher.

    Why isn't everyone as upset about the Supercharger increase as I am?

    That Lakeshore charger is in a pay parking, so you have to pay for parking (Toronto parking prices!)as well. The rates are a bit lower because of that. The 250 kW charger in Orangeville rates are $0.26, $0.68, $1.30 & $2.05. So yes way pricier than in VA, especially when our electricity rates...

    Why isn't everyone as upset about the Supercharger increase as I am?

    If you do the math, it is not cheaper than gas. $1.30 per min for 800 km/hr charge rate (800/60 the /$1.30)=$0.1025 per km, or $10.25 per 100 km since this is the metric gas car use in Canada. At $1.70 per litre $10.25 will buy you 6.03 litres of fuel. So a car getting 6.l/100 (or 40 mpg)...

    Why isn't everyone as upset about the Supercharger increase as I am?

    Ok, I have owned an EV for 10 years, and my Model 3 since they came to Canada. I had Level 2 chargers installed in any Condos I lived in (it helped that I consult condo boards for EV Infrastructure installs as a side gig), and only used Superchargers on rare occasions and really long trips. My...

    Condo EV charger installed - Ontario

    Sorry, I have not been on the forum for a while. It really ticks me when condo boards ignore the law. This is especially a problem now with the HUGE increase in Supercharger costs. If you want to message me I would be happy to talk to you about your options.

    anyone received 2020.12.5 update yet in Canada?

    I got the notification for the update to 20.12.5 a couple of days ago. I live in a condo, so I had to connect to my cell to download. Not driving much these days. Went to the car today to download, and it says I am up to date on 20.8.3. No icon to download. Did they withdraw this one?

    HW3 Upgrade

    In answer to my own questions that I posed above, I called Tesla service this morning. They stated that they did roll back my software as Tesla has removed version 20.8 due to problems. They stated that I should receive a new update shortly.

    HW3 Upgrade

    I had my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD updated to 20.4.1 and then the Full Self Driving Computer installed yesterday at the new (moved) Tesla Service Centre on Railside in North York (used to be the Lawrence location, moved around the corner). They gave me a loaner S P85D to drive around for the 4 hours...

    Condo EV charger installed - Ontario

    Just my humble opinion, but I feel that it is always better for the condo board to institute a comprehensive Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan. Having owners one-off installations will severely restrict the ability for others to install a EV charger in the future. A plan will specify the...

    What gives with the price discrepancy at Superchargers in Ontario?

    While I appreciate your opinion, the experts would disagree with you. Please review the following chart: https://www.clippercreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Level-1-vs-Level-2_Chart_-20180502_Final_Low-Res.pdf I am sure you will note that more than 80% of currently available plug-in...

    What gives with the price discrepancy at Superchargers in Ontario?

    So coming back from the cottage down Hwy 400 and needed to stop at a supercharger in Barrie. I knew there was 2 locations and wanted to hit a particular one near a restaurant we wanted lunch at. Well the nav kept trying to send me to the other one even though it wasn't as close to our route...

    Condo in GTA - Charger experience

    Convincing the board is not the problem. They have to allow it by law. The problem is convincing the board to allow it at a reasonable cost!

    What's your rated range again?

    Mine now shows 525 km at 100%. 421 @ 80% which is what I usually charge to in the summer. 90% in the winter. This was an increase from the original with the 5% increase that Elon gave us. I think this was just a bit of slight of hand though, as the rated kW/km prior to the increase was 156...

    2019.12.1 Update

    I find that whenever I see a blank page for release notes, or owners manual a soft reset seems to correct the issue.

    Tesla forgot to charge HST

    I could be wrong about this, and there are probably a couple of accountants that could wade in, but in Canada it is the responsibility of the purchaser to pay the HST, not the seller to collect it. The seller is just receiving the HST on the purchasers behalf and remitting it to the CRA. So if...
